Carole G
Professional English tutor
Hi, my name is Carole. I worked as a primary school teacher for 19 years and I have been tutoring children from reception to year 8, mainly online, since February 2020. I have worked with many children, helping them to achieve success in SATs, school entrance exams or to gain increased confidence and enjoyment of their subjects in school. I had some recent feedback from a parent, stating that their child had "gone from being scared of maths (and trying to hide it by saying maths is boring) to loving it!" Some of my current students have worked with me for several years, continuing after primary...

Holly E
Holly has been tutoring my son in English GCSE for the last half term. He has found the lessons very useful, working in a logical order through the different aspects of the curriculum. Holly is friendly, approachable and encouraging.
My Son has just had his mock exam results and has moved from just hitting an exam grade boundary to being 2 points off the next grade up. We are very pleased at his progress in a short space of time.

Mamun A
My son is really improving since starting lessons with Mamun. From the start of the lesson getting almost all questions wrong to by the end completely understanding it all. Tested him a few days later and he got almost every question right without any help at all he remembered all the punctuation in all questions, shocked how much he's improved from just one lesson on it! Mamun's teaching is brilliant and it really seems to stick in my sons head. Also my son is very fussy with his ASD/ADHD and is often open about his feelings towards people, especially new people most often than not he will say he doesn't like this person because of this or that, but he said he likes his tutor and wants to do more lessons which is brilliant. Mamun is always on time, very patient and explains thoroughly, he gives brilliant feedback afterwards too. Highly recommend this tutor and I'm glad I chose him rather than someone else.

Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a competitive university like Cardiff or Swansea. Can a tutor help with the skills needed for this?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students develop the sophisticated analytical and essay-writing skills that top universities look for. They can work with your child to go beyond the curriculum, helping them think critically and articulate their ideas with clarity, which is essential for strong A-Level performance and university applications.
With the high academic standards in Brecon, can a tutor help my child move from a predicted B to an A* in English?
Yes, this is exactly where one-to-one tutoring can make a huge difference. A tutor can identify the specific areas holding your child back and create tailored lessons to target them. By building both their skills and their confidence, they can help your child aim for those top A*/A grades.
How do I pick the right English tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect fit. You can filter tutors by their experience and specialisms, watch their introductory videos, and read detailed reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few to find someone your child will connect with before booking your first session.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right student-tutor relationship is. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, typically starting from around £20 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and level of demand. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile, so you can find brilliant support that fits your budget.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed a background check and an identity check. We are very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How does online tutoring actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson. There's an interactive whiteboard for brainstorming ideas or analysing texts, video and audio chat, and a simple way to share files and resources. It's a secure and effective way to learn from the comfort of home.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
Confidence is often the biggest barrier to progress. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be afraid to ask in class. A tutor's patient, positive reinforcement helps them see what they're capable of, which makes a huge difference to their self-belief.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have experts in all core academic subjects, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills! From learning to play the guitar or speak Spanish, to mastering coding languages like Python, we're here to support all of your child's learning goals.
How long is a typical lesson?
Most lessons are one hour long, as this gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. However, you can always discuss different lesson lengths with your chosen tutor to find what works best.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started very quickly. Simply find a tutor you like, send them a message to arrange a time, and book your first session. Many of our tutors can be available within a few days.
What makes Tutorful a good choice?
We're proud to have helped over 200,000 students achieve their goals. Parents like you have given us a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews, because our focus is always on providing high-quality, personalised support that truly makes a difference to your child's confidence and grades.
